Speaking of Lenovo. Purchased too a heavily discounted Thinkstation P360 Tiny. Will be arriving tomorrow.
Mine come w/ an i9-12900T and has two SODIMMS and two m.2 NVME Gen.4 slots aside from a dedicated RTX T1000 8Gb.
Will be upgrading it to 64Gb w/ two Kingston Fury mems and two 2Tb SN850X m.2s in RAID 0.

Will update this post when finished setting up.


Those are nice little units but the fan(s) is shrill and annoying for a music appliance. I can recommend the M90n IoT fanless but only for a music appliance. It doesn't have enough RAM for a desktop and it's soldered. But there is good connectivity, even a couple of serial ports.

I have a Ryzen 5 2400G that's dog-slow and no provision for SSD. I'm wondering if I need to toss it or if there is any way to make it run acceptably.

Build a FreeBSD desktop from it, use a lightweight Window Manager like Fluxbox and only install the minimum amount of 3rd party programs you find necessary to conserve resources.

FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p1
Fluxbox WM
gkrellm2
rxvt-unicode
Audacious
Xfe FM
Gimp for the shot

Thinkpad W520
Intel Quad Core 2nd Gen i7-2760QM @ 2.40GHz
8 GB RAM PC3-10600
Hitachi Travelstar 500GB HDD @ 7200 RPM
Nvidia Quadro 1000M
15.6" TFT display with 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution with LED backlight

I'm not sure it would help and anyway I need windows on this box unfortunately. I think the main problem is the SATA drive and there is no way to fix that. I'll probably buy another Ryzen 7 box like I posted above and dump this one eventually.

updated: I have been using i3wm for a few years now. I used fluxbox for over a decade and I like i3wm even more.

Lol - that monitor naming system

Monitor naming is such a mess; I hate it. The marketing departments of all these monitor companies need to tell the engineers to piss off, they don't get to name the monitors.

Honestly, I ain't 100% sure if I had gotten the model correct as there're some variations to that model, but I've added some more info on the monitor just so it'd be clearer. I agree with you, engineers should just bugger off and leave the naming to the marketing department. I think Samsung's on the right track though, what with the Odyssey G series being easier to remember.
